NECXC is a racing competition all over Pennsylvania. NECXC stands for The New East Cost XC race. A student in our school actually races in this competition. Joey Dickey races every Sunday and will race with a Suzuki. There are 14 classes and if you race in the high class you can win money.

There are certain ages for certain classes. The race is cross county and you can’t ride the track before you race but you can walk it. The race starts out in the opening and ends up going through the woods. The races last about hour and a half and it’s about 7-8 miles long.
